THE PRESIDENTS BALCONY

From the stand reserved for the presi
dental party on Bridge sqaure the scene is
magnificent. 1t rivals any tale of fairy
land. This stand is substantial in it's con.
struction and is provided with forty chairs
| for the accommodation of the president
and escort of ladies and gentlemen. The
posts are wound with bunting and decor.
| ated with flags. 1t is half hexagonal in
shape and with a balcony or bay window
extending out three feet at point drawn
from the intersection OF Third and Waba-
sha. This part of the platform was re-.
served for the exclusive use of President
and Mrs. Cleveland. From it they were
enabled to command a full view of Third
and Wabasha streets and in turn position
to be readily seen by the crowd. There is
q very strong light at this point, so that
the two were recognizable at a distance of
at least block.
THE GENERAL RECEPTION
to the public began and Mrs. Cleveland
was surrounded by the reception commit
tee and their wives, all in full dress and
wearing the badges of their Office. Intro
ductions were made by Colonel Rockwell.
The first corners were the members of the
Windsor and Nushka Toboggan clubs.
These were followed by General Ruger

it is understood, will ride in the carriage

having an opportunity to see the president
at close quarters, but not to shake his
hands. An event of the reception was the
arrival in the corridor Of
THE DAKOTA DELEGATION,
consisting of the officials, business men
and boomers of the territory. 1t was first
arranged that the Dakotans should be re-

| as the president and party were very much
fatigued, the president and Colonel Lamont
requested that the representatives of the
territory be invited to call this evening
and that they be given
THE PRECEDENCE OF ALL oRHERs.
AS result the Dakotans were given a
place at the head of 10000 people who were
waiting in line on the streets. and as Gov
ernor Church arrived in the corridor ahead
of the delegation and it was announced
that the Dakotans were approaching, Mrs.
Cleveland, who had been seated for some
time, arose and stood while the delegation
passed, greeting the northwesterners with
smile and bow. Among those who
passed were: Governor Church, Auditor
